THE NEW 2019 SURLY OGRE EMERGES - repost by GIMI PALADA
from: bikepacking.com
Other than being painted “Pile of Bricks” red, the biggest change—which likely won’t matter to most of us—is that Surly finally 86ed the canti brake studs on the frame. Disc brakes only. The reason they gave is that rim brake 29er rims are becoming increasingly harder to find. So, if you need rim brakes, check out the Troll. The good news is that if you’re running 27.5+ tires, you won’t have any issues rubbing the sidewalls when removing and fitting the rear wheel.
As far as other updates to the frame go, that about sums it up. Ogre still has everything else you’ve come to know and love: two water bottle mounts, four sets of three-pack bosses, mid- and low-blade fork eyelets, threaded holes for racks, fenders, and trailer mounting nuts, and a Rohloff OEM2 axle plate slot. It still features horizontal-slotted dropouts with Gnot-Boost spacing, a tweaked non-suspension corrected geometry, and a beefy tire clearance. It’s still fully compatible with both 29 x 2.5” and 27.5+ tires.” In the complete bike version, Surly opted to go with a 1x drivetrain and a flat handlebar. Find the full spec below.
